We encountered some crashes caused by the race between SMC-R
link access and link clear that triggered by abnormal link
group termination, such as port error.
Here is an example of this kind of crashes:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
Workqueue: smc_hs_wq smc_listen_work [smc]
RIP: 0010:smc_llc_flow_initiate+0x44/0x190 [smc]

smc_listen_work() __smc_lgr_terminate()
---------------------------------------------------------------
| smc_lgr_free()
| |- smcr_link_clear()
| |- memset(lnk, 0)
smc_listen_rdma_reg() |
|- smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs() |
|- smc_llc_flow_initiate() |
|- access lnk->lgr (panic) |
These crashes are similarly caused by clearing SMC-R link
resources when some functions is still accessing to them.
This patch tries to fix the issue by introducing reference
count of SMC-R links and ensuring that the sensitive resources
of links won't be cleared until reference count reaches zero.
The operation to the SMC-R link reference count can be concluded
as follows:
object [hold or initialized as 1] [put]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
links smcr_link_init() smcr_link_clear()
connections smc_conn_create() smc_conn_free()
Through this way, the clear of SMC-R links is later than the
free of all the smc connections above it, thus avoiding the
unsafe reference to SMC-R links.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
